York, PA -

In an effort to reduce expenses in a way that promises not to affect patient care, Memorial Hospital has opted to move some of its business office functions, such as billing, to a centralized business office in Easton, Pa. - a shift that will affect up to 25 jobs, said Jason McSherry, a spokesman for the hospital, in an email.

"We expect to place a number of our affected employees in other currently vacant positions and possible future openings, minimizing the actual loss of jobs," he said. "We appreciate our employees and are doing what we can to retain as many as possible."
